''RING    OUT,    WILD    BELLS," 


"n  ING  out,  wild  bells,  to  the  wild  sky, 
■'-^  The  flying  cloud,  the  frosty  light : 

The  year  is  dying  in  the  night ; 
Ring  out,  wild  bells,  and  let  him  die. 

Ring  out  the  old,  ring  in  the  new, 
Ring,  happy  bells,  across  the  snow : 
The  year  is  going,  let  him  go ; 

Ring  out  the  false,  ring  in  the  true. 

Ring  out  the  grief  that  saps  the  mind, 
For  those  that  here  we  see  no  more ; 
Ring  out  the  feud  of  rich  and  poor. 

Ring  in  redress  to  all  mankind 

Ring  out  a  slowly  dymg  cause, 

And  ancient  forms  of  party  strife  ; 
Ring  in  the  nobler  modes  of  life. 

With  sweeter  manners,  purer  laws. 


Ring  out  the  want,  the  care,  the  sin, 
The  faithless  coldness  of  the  times ; 
Ring  out,  ring  out  m.y  mournful  rhymes, 

But  ring  the  fuller  minstrel  in. 

Ring  out  false  pride  in  place  and  blood, 
The  civic  slander  and  the  spite ; 
Ring  in  the  love  of  truth  and  right, 

Ring  in  the  common  love  of  good. 

Ring  out  old  shapes  of  foul  disease, 
Ring  out  the  narrowing  lust  of  gold ; 
Ring  out  the  thousand  wars  of  old. 

Ring  in  the  thousand  years  of  peace. 

Ring  in  the  valiant  man,  and  free. 
The  larger  heart,  the  kindlier  hand  ; 
Ring  out  the  darkness  of  the  land 

Ring  in  the  Christ  that  is  to  be.
